Concept Search - What can I type?

For a concept search, you can enter phrases, sentences, or full paragraphs in English. For example, copy and paste the abstract of a patent application or paragraphs from an article.

Concept search eliminates the need for complex Boolean syntax to inform retrieval. Our Semantic Gist engine uses advanced cognitive semantic analysis to extract the meaning of data. This reduces the chances of missing valuable information, that may result from traditional keyword searching.

BUTTERFLY VALVE CONTROL SYSTEM

Publishing Venue

Xerox Disclosure Journal

Abstract

A low power consumption butterfly valve control system to be located in the ducting between a vacuum box and a blower in an air system of a sheet feeding apparatus in order to reduce the average power drawn by solenoids is disclosed. The butterfly valve control system includes an over center torsion spring and two small tubular solenoids adapted to actuate the butterfly valve by each being pulsed only long enough to initiate movement to the butterfly valve to overcome the over center force exerted by the torsion spring. This control system reduces power requirements for the solenoids from 11.5 watts of a conventional system to 0.4 watts.
